Traveller exhibit at Bentley Wildfowl & motor museum

Post by davidmiles »

Lovely day out with the family to Bently wildfowl & motor museum, pleasant discovery of a nice (but needs a little work) Traveller. Well worth a visit (http://www.bentley.org.uk) its near Lewes in East Sussex.[frame]Image[/frame]

the reason it's not a perfect example, the doors look like mine, a little more adjustment needed there..[frame]Image[/frame]

Last time I went there there was a white trav in one of the sheds out the back... I cant remember if there was one in the proper display, so it may be the same one?

I bet it's the same one, I got chatting, as you do, with the caretaker, he said the doors need resetting, the car was restored by a local lad who worked nearby. All the cars are privately owned by individuals and come and go on display. The turnover is regular so the display changes, the Delorean was not there today. The caretaken used to own a Morris 1000 pickup as his work vehiclein the 60's, he advised me to watch the back end swing in wet conditions.Bless him. I'll be driving it like miss Marple after its long restoration.[frame]Image[/frame]
